Choose Freedom: SAM4POS POS Terminals That Are Processor-Agnostic and Subscription-Free

 

Why SAM4POS Terminals Are the Best Choice for Your Business

When choosing a Point-of-Sale (POS) system, flexibility and cost control matter. That’s why the SAM4POS family—including the SAP-630R, SAP-630F, and the Sapphire A60—is the best choice for retailers and restaurants. Here’s why these terminals stand out:


1. Processor-Agnostic for Maximum Freedom

Unlike many POS systems that lock you into a single credit card processor, SAM4POS terminals are processor-agnostic. This means:

  • You can choose the processor that offers the best rates.
  • You’re not tied to long-term contracts.
  • Switching processors doesn’t require replacing your hardware.

2. No Cloud Dependency

SAM4POS is not cloud-based, which means:

  • Your system works even if the internet goes down.
  • No reliance on external servers for daily operations.
  • Greater control over your data and security.

3. No Monthly Subscription Fees

Many modern POS systems require ongoing subscription fees for software access. SAM4POS does not. You pay once for your hardware and software—no recurring costs, no surprises.


4. Built for Reliability

The SAP-630R, SAP-630F, and Sapphire A60 are designed for businesses that need dependable performance:

  • Rugged hardware for high-volume environments.
  • Advanced features for retail and hospitality.
  • Seamless integration with payment solutions.

Bottom Line

If you want a POS system that gives you freedom, reliability, and cost savings, the SAM4POS terminals—SAP-630R, SAP-630F, and Sapphire A60—are the smart choice.
No processor lock-in. No cloud dependency. No subscription fees. Just a powerful POS solution built for your business.

SAM4POS Now Supports Store-and-Forward Credit Card Processing

SAM4POS Adds Store-and-Forward for Credit Card Processing

We’re thrilled to announce a powerful new feature in SAM4POS: Store-and-Forward credit card processing. This enhancement ensures your business can keep running—even when your internet connection doesn’t.


What is Store-and-Forward?

Store-and-Forward allows your POS system to securely store credit card transactions when the network or payment gateway is unavailable. Once connectivity is restored, these transactions are automatically forwarded for authorization and settlement.


Why It Matters

  • Business Continuity – Keep processing sales during outages.
  • Customer Satisfaction – No delays, no lost sales.
  • Security First – Transactions are encrypted and stored safely until processed.

How It Works

  1. If a transaction cannot be authorized in real time, SAM4POS stores the encrypted card data locally.
  2. When connectivity returns, all pending transactions are forwarded for approval.
  3. You receive confirmation and reporting just like any standard transaction.

Perfect for Businesses That Need Reliability

Whether you operate in areas with unstable internet or want peace of mind during unexpected outages, Store-and-Forward ensures your operations never stop.

The SAP-630R with Dual Pricing is fast and saves you thousands in credit card fees

 


Using Dual Pricing Credit Card with the SAM4s SAP-630R POS system is a big win for store owners

The SAM4s SAP-630R POS system is a very fast easy to use POS system. Designed for retail stores like C-Stores, Liquor stores, Grocery and more. What makes it fast is combining the raised keyboard and touch screen with a touch screen. Now combine this fast register with a connected credit card terminal with dual pricing and you have a huge opportunity to increase profits. That is because Dual Pricing shifts the credit card fees to your customers instead of you paying them. And if your customer does not want to pay the fee, they can use cash and avoid the fee. 

The connected credit card terminal will show the customer both prices, cash or credit

When the SAM4s SAP-630R sends the sale amount down to the pin pad, you customer will see the cash price with no mark up, and also the credit amount with the sale amount plus the credit card fee. They simply press the payment they wish to use. If they select credit the pin pad will prompt them to finish the sale by tapping their card or phone or inserting the card. If they select cash the pin pad sends the transaction back to the cash register and they cashier finishes the sale by tendering the cash amount.

The SAM4pos Systems handles EBT (Food Stamp) transactions the correct way, take a look

 

If you accept EBT (Food Stamps) at your store, you should use a POS system that does it the right way like SAM4pos does

I'm always amazed every time a business calls us that just bought some cloud based POS system for their retail store and it does not handle EBT transactions. We see it time and time again where the flashy cloud based tablet system cant process a transaction with EBT sorting. Cash Registers have been sorting food stamp transactions for years, it is really rather simple. Here is how it works; we program the department button or the UPC to be Food Stamp eligible even if that department or UPS is taxable. Now that the register knows which UPC's or department sales are EBT eligible we can ring in all items in a sale at the same time regardless of how a customer is going to pay. Just watch the video above and it will explain it all. It works the same way on entry level cash registers and the higher end SAM4pos system in the video. 

If your POS system can't sort EBT then you need another system

A system that sorts EBT items in a transaction saves you time, money and possibly fines. If you leave it up to your cashiers to determine what is eligible and what is not you can set your business up for some trouble. Take it out of the cashiers hands with a good system. If you get caught accepting EBT for non EBT eligible items you are going to get in trouble and could have your ability to accept EBT taken away for awhile. For more detail on how SAM4pos handles EBT transactions the correct way call us at 800-863-2274

This is why the SAM4s SAP-6600II with SAM4pos is a great system for retail stores

 

You need a retail system with real features, that is what you get with SAM4pos on the SAP-6600II

We get calls every day from people that bought some cloud based POS system for their retail store only to find out it didn't have basic features that a good POS will have. Here are just a few of the basic features that SAM4s has had for years that so many of the cloud based POS systems don't.

  • EBT/Food Stamp sorting in one transaction
  • Mix and Match pricing
  • Bottle Deposit

A retail system should focus on efficient operation, SAM4s does because they have years of experience and they are not a credit card company 

You would be shocked at how many systems on the market can't perform basic features that cash registers and POS systems have been doing for year. You might be asking why does that happen. Well several years ago credit card processing companies started making POS systems. These system could accept credit cards but that was about it.  That is why we keep replacing so many of those systems. 

SAM4s systems are not cloud based and don't have subscriptions 

Our customers love the fact their SAM4s system is not cloud based and their data stays in their stores not up in the cloud. Another thing they really enjoy is that with SAM4s you can buy it outright, no monthly subscriptions for the life of the system. Have you ever done the math on some of the subscriptions? Lets say you bought a system that requires a subscription of $59.00 a month which is pretty average. In our experience a POS system last 5 to 10 years, sometimes longer. So lets says you system last seven years. If you were in a subscription for those seven years you would have paid $4956.00 in subscription fees. That is more than double what you would have paid for a SAM4s system. For more information on the best system for retail stores call us at 800-863-2274

The SAM4s ER-260EJ Cash Register proves good things come in small packages


 If you want a POS system with no monthly payments that is simple and affordable check out the SAM4s ER-260EJ

Stop wasting money on POS systems that make you pay monthly and put your data on the cloud. The vast majority of us don't need that we just need a simple cash register with a few departments. The ER-260EJ works in retail stores and saves you a tone of money. It features 15 departments, computes tax, computes change, applies discounts, can do bar code scanning, Mix and Match pricing and even EBT (Food Stamp) sorting better then most cloud based POS. 

The SAM4s ER-260EJ even can connect to a credit card terminal

You always want to have your cash register or POS system attached to a credit card terminal directly. Don't rely on a standalone credit card terminal. The reason to connect directly is to eliminate the costly mistakes your cashiers are making on accident or possibly on purpose. If they ring up $19.99 make sure the customers card is getting charged $19.99 not accidently $1.99 which happens all to often when you don't directly connect the terminal. Why do you think big companies connected their POS to credit card terminals years ago. It is because they did the match and knew it was a great investment in trying the two devices together.  With the ER-260EJ it is so affordable to connect the two together there is no reason not to and far more reasons to do it. To find out more about ordering a SAM4s ER-260EJ with  a connected credit card terminal  call us at 800-863-2274.

Incredibly affordable Dual Pricing Cash Register System from SAM4s

 


You can eliminate all or most of your credit card fees using a SAM4s ER-265EJ with Dual Pricing and its affordable

If you are not familiar with Dual Pricing credit card programs you should look into it. It is a pretty straight forward program being offered from merchant services around the country. Here is the program works. You ring up your sale like normal and send the transaction to the pin pad connected to the cash register. The pin pad will then display two prices on the pin pad. let's use a dollar amount of $10.00 to make this simple. So on a $10.00 sale the pin pad will display Cash = $10.00 Credit = $10.39. The customer will then select on the pin pad which method of payment they would like to use. If they select Credit they will pay $10.39 which is the amount of the sale plus the credit card fees. You as the merchant will receive $10.00 for that sale. If the customer selects Cash on the pin pad the register will cancel the credit card sale and the cashier will then finish the sale with cash. In this case you also receive the entire $10.00. This is a game changer for small business, you can now eliminate thousands of dollars worth of credit card fees. 

The Cash Register Guys offer a very affordable cash register credit card terminal bundle that supports the Dual Pricing merchant services program

We have bundled the SAM4s ER-265EJ cash register and a pin pad at a very affordable price. The advantage of using a SAM4s cash register like this are many and also save you even more money.

SAM4s systems are also not cloud based so your sales data stays in the register in your store or restaurant.

Dual Pricing Program can save you thousands in Credit Card Fees every month!

 

A Dual Pricing Credit Card Program with SAM4pos Eliminates your monthly credit card fees

 Yes that is correct, you can go from paying thousands of dollars a month to paying ZERO in credit card fees. Sounds too good to be true right, well it's not. The way the Dual Pricing program works is giving your customer a choice when paying for the transaction. One price for paying with a Credit Card and another less expensive amount for paying Cash. As an example if you had a $10 transaction, when your customer is paying they will see two choice on the pin pad, Pay Cash $10.00 Pay Credit $10.39 and it is the customers choice. That difference of $0.39 in this example is what pays the credit card fees and you pocket the entire $10.00 For the average business this could mean an extra $20,000.00 or more to your bottom line. 

SAM4s with Dual Pricing offers you even more ways to save money

Most of the systems on the market today are cloud based and require a subscription. So you would be paying for that system forever.
